The brain tumours originate in the brain or its surrounding structures, such as the pituitary and pineal glands, and can be benign or malignant. While benign tumours may grow into neighbouring tissues, metastatic tumours occur when cancer from other ...
BACKGROUND: Predicting pituitary adenoma (PA) recurrence after surgical resection is critical for guiding clinical decision-making, and machine learning (ML) based models show great promise in improving the accuracy of these predictions. These models...
Posterior pituitary tumors (PPTs) are rare neoplasms, but easily misdiagnosed as pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) and craniopharyngioma. This study aimed to differentiate PPTs from PitNET and craniopharyngioma using a machine learning method b...
OBJECTIVE: Pituitary adenomas (PAs), craniopharyngiomas (CRs), Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs), and tuberculum sellar meningiomas (TSMs) are common sellar region lesions with similar imaging characteristics, making differential diagnosis challenging. Thi...

PURPOSE: Automated localization of critical anatomical structures in endoscopic pituitary surgery is crucial for enhancing patient safety and surgical outcomes. While deep learning models have shown promise in this task, their predictions often suffe...
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential technique for diagnosing pituitary adenomas; however, it is also challenging for neurosurgeons to use it to precisely identify some types of microadenomas. A novel neural network model was dev...

The sellar region tumor is a brain tumor that only exists in the brain sellar, which affects the central nervous system. The early diagnosis of the sellar region tumor subtypes helps clinicians better understand the best treatment and recovery of pat...
Preoperative classification of brain tumors is critical to developing personalized treatment plans, however existing classification methods rely on manual intervention and often have problems with efficiency and accuracy, which may lead to misdiagnos...

BACKGROUND: Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI) is a proliferation marker that is correlated with aggressive behavior and prognosis of pituitary adenomas (PAs). Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) may potentially contribute to the preoperative assess...
BACKGROUND: Some nonfunctioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (NFPitNET) can show invasive growth, which increases the difficulty of surgery and indicates a poor prognosis. However, the molecular mechanism related to invasiveness remains to be furth...
